Someone needs to think of a catchy name, like The Backyard Brawl (Pitt-West Virginia) or The Civil War (Oregon-Oregon State). In these parts, Hampton-Phoebus is as big as it gets.

Thursday night will mark the 44th game between these Peninsula District powerhouses. And for you newbies to the area — and even you veterans — here's looking at the rivalry 1 through 10.

1 — Uniform number worn by Ronald Curry, Hampton's incomparable quarterback from 1994-97. Of the state record 185 touchdowns he had a hand in, 13 came in four games (all wins) against the Phantoms. He had 357 total yards and five touchdowns in the '95 game.

2 — Phoebus' official point total in its first "win" of the series — a 2-0 forfeit in 1980. Hampton won on the field 24-0 in the second game of the season, but the VHSL ruled that Crabbers receiver Butch Pegram, a transfer from Menchville, was ineligible. Phoebus' first win on the field wouldn't come for another 10 years.

3 — Yards covered by Hampton fullback Jon McKinney, who scored the first touchdown in this rivalry's history on Sept. 24, 1976. His burst up the middle came with 7:05 remaining in the game and gave the Crabbers a 6-0 win. Phoebus' coach was Phil Smith. Hampton's was, of course, Mike Smith. (No relation).

4 — Consecutive shutouts posted by Hampton from 1984-87, during which it outscored Phoebus 120-0. Amazingly, the score in 1984, '85, and '86 was the same each year — 34-0. There have been only three shutouts since.

5 — Decades in which Danny Mitchell has been an assistant coach at Hampton. He began in 1979 and hasn't gone anywhere, making him the longest serving assistant in the Peninsula District. He's been a part of 366 wins and 10 state championships.

6 — Uniform number worn by Antwoine Womack, Phoebus' first extraordinary tailback. He graduated in 1997 as the all-time leading rusher in Group AAA history with 5,570 yards. Womack went 0-4 against the Crabbers, but he rushed for 537 yards and six touchdowns in those games.

7 — Times these teams have met in the playoffs, with Phoebus holding a 4-3 edge. The Phantoms' first state championship was set up by a 46-15 win over Hampton in the 2001 Eastern Region final. Four years later, the Crabbers' 17th state title was made possible by a 29-7 win over the Phantoms in the Eastern final.

8 — Total points in which the last two games have been decided. Two Octobers ago, Phoebus won 12-7 by scoring a touchdown and a safety in the game's final 2:55. Last November, Hampton won 13-10 in overtime on Marshawn Williams' touchdown.

9 — Touchdowns scored by Hampton in a 61-12 win in 1996, which remains the biggest blowout in the series' history. The Crabbers had 476 yards of total offense, 215 coming from the right arm of Curry. Who, by the way, added an 85-yard punt return for six.

10 — Losses by Phoebus in 1984, the year before Bill Dee came over from Southampton. Dee went from 1-9 in his first season to 8-4 and in the playoffs in his second. Before leaving Ireland Street following the 2008 season, he went 215-64 and won four state championships.
